ABSTRACT:
A method and computer-program product are provided for distinguishing packets sent in successive packet groups. The packet groups are related to each other. The method includes providing an identification point to a connection of a communications network; receiving a sequence number associated with a first packet, which is part of a first group of packets; and receiving a packet-group-length parameter that denotes the number of packets in the first group of packets. Other embodiments are described herein.
